It is technically possible to dissolve at such a high temperature with alloys having a composition similar to that of the alloys according to the invention with respect to Cu, Li, Zr, Ti, Zn and Mn but higher in Mg. and Ag but this results in a degradation of the mechanical properties due to the inevitable burns, in particular the elongation and the tenacity are decreased.

- the present inventors have however observed that with the alloys according to the invention, it is possible to carry out a dissolution with a first stage at a temperature of between 515 ° C. and 520 ° C. and a second plateau at a temperature of at least 530 ° C and preferably at least 535 ° C and obtain in particular an improved compromise between elongation and elastic limit.
- the product After dissolution, the product is quenched, typically by spraying or immersion with water at room temperature.
- the product thus dissolved and quenched undergoes stress relieving with a permanent deformation of 0.5 to 5%.
- the controlled tensile stress relieving is carried out with a permanent deformation of less than 2% and advantageously of 0.5 to 1.5%.
- This embodiment with moderate permanent deformation may, however, have the disadvantage of requiring a long income period and impairing the productivity of the process.
- controlled tensile stress relieving is carried out with a permanent deformation of between 2% and 4%.
- the product thus trapped finally receives an income by heating at a temperature of 140 to 170 ° C for 5 to 70 hours.
- the income can be made in one or more levels.
- the controlled tensile stress relieving is performed with a permanent deformation less than 2% the income is made between 150 and 160 ° C for a period of 40 to 60 hours.
- the controlled tensile stress relieving is carried out with a permanent deformation greater than 2% the income is made between 150 and 160 ° C for a period of 10 to 40 hours.
- the products thus obtained preferably have a substantially non-recrystallized granular structure.
- substantially uncrystallized granular structure refers to a granular structure such that the degree of recrystallization between 1 ⁇ 4 and 1 ⁇ 2 thickness is less than 30% and preferably less than 20%.
- the products according to the invention preferably have a thickness of at least 12 mm.
- the thickness of the spun products is defined according to EN 2066: 2001: the section transversal is divided into elementary rectangles of dimensions A and B; A being always the largest dimension of the elementary rectangle and B can be considered as the thickness of the elementary rectangle.
- the sole is the elementary rectangle having the largest dimension A.
- the thickness of the products according to the invention is at least 15 mm and less than 50 mm.
- the process according to the invention combining, in particular, the composition according to the invention and the heat treatment of homogenization and dissolution in solution according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a spun, rolled and / or forged product made of aluminum alloy having a thickness of at least 12 mm, a compressive elasticity limit in the longitudinal direction of at least 645 MPa and preferably at least 650 MPa and an elongation in the longitudinal direction of at least 7% and preferably at least 8%.
- the spun products according to the invention advantageously have an L-direction compressive yield stress of at least 680 MPa, an L-direction tensile yield strength of at least 680 MPa and a KQ toughness (T L), of at least 17 MPa.
- the rolled products according to the invention, the thickness of which is at least 20 mm advantageously have a compressive strength limit in the L direction of at least 650.
- the rolled products according to the invention advantageously have a limit of elasticity. in compression in the direction L of at least 653 MPa and preferably at least 655 MPa and a tenacity Q (LT) of at least 20
- the extrados structural elements incorporating at least one product according to the invention or manufactured from such a product are advantageous.
- a "structural element” or “structural element” of a mechanical construction is called a mechanical part for which the static and / or dynamic mechanical properties are particularly important for the performance of the structure, and for which a structural calculation is usually prescribed or realized.
- These are typically elements whose failure is likely to endanger the safety of said construction, its users, its users or others.
- the extrados structural elements include the upper wing skin and the upper wing stringers (stiffeners).
- Example 1 In this example, five plates 406 x 1520 mm in size, the composition of which is given in Table 1, were cast. Alloys 1, 2 and 3 have a composition according to the invention. Alloys 4 and 5 have a reference composition.
- the plates were homogenized. Following preliminary tests by differential calorimetry, different conditions were used for the different plates so as to achieve maximum homogenization without burning.
- the alloy plates 1, 2 and 3 were homogenized for 15 h at 500 ° C and then 16 h at 516 ° C. Plates 4 and 5 were homogenized for 15 h at 492 ° C.
- the plates were hot rolled at a temperature above 420 ° C to obtain 25 mm thick sheets. After hot rolling, differential calorimetry tests were again performed to determine the solution temperature. It has been shown that the sheets according to the invention can withstand a solution dissolution temperature of at least 515 ° C. whereas for the reference sheets a risk of burn is present at this temperature and a solution dissolution temperature of less than 515 ° C was needed.
- the sheets were dissolved at 516 ° C (alloys 1 to 3), 512 ° C (alloys 4) and 509 ° C (alloy 5) for about 5 hours and then quenched with water at 20 ° C.
- the alloy sheets 1 and 2 were then trimmed by about 3%.
- the alloy sheets 4 and 5 were trimmed by 4%.
- the static mechanical properties measured at mid-thickness obtained after various conditions of income at 155 ° C are given in Table 2 and shown in Figure 1.
- billets with a diameter of 139 mm were taken from alloy plates 1 and 2.
- the billets were homogenized at 515 ° C., spun in the form of 54.6 ⁇ 16 mm bars at 460 ° C. then solutioned for 4 hours at 520 ° C and quenched with water.
- the bars thus obtained were drawn with a permanent elongation of 3%, then they were returned to 15h or 25h at 155 ° C.
- the mechanical characteristics measured in the L-direction at mid-thickness are presented in Table 4.
- the controlled tensile conditions were varied for an alloy sheet 2 25 mm thick dissolved for 5 h at 516 ° C and then quenched with water at 20 ° C.
- the sheets underwent a controlled pull with a permanent elongation of 1%, 2.1%, 3.5% or 4.5%. Different durations of income at 155 ° C were carried out to find the optimal compromise between yield strength in compression and toughness for each rate of permanent elongation. The results obtained are shown in Table 5.
- Example 2 the fatigue properties on test pieces with holes for alloys 2, 4 and 5 of Example 1 were evaluated. 25 mm thick sheets were laminated, dissolved and triturated as described in FIG.
